I love banana bread! It reminds me of my mom, and growing up and making things together. It’s like nostalgia on a plate for me. The bread I grew up making was delicious but not going to fill me up or keep me going… HOWEVER, this recipe adapted from Kelly LeVeque will!
I eat this before my workouts in the morning – fast, easy, can eat while walking and gives me enough energy to work out and not feel overly full. It also freezes well so you can batch bake!
